mdf, awesome pictures! Hope you don't mind, but I grabbed some of me and put them on my facebook page. They're just that good!

Did you upload videos to the photobucket account?

Just a heads-up, but there is a chance your account/ the photobucket server was hacked into. My system crashed (edit:) *while* playing one of the videos on the link, and I've been having some real strange issues with Google mail and Google searches since. Getting redirected to wrong pages off of Google searches, page timeouts, etc. Running a virus scan now.

May not be related (may have caught the cold earlier), but tread carefully.

Edit: by researching on a clean computer, looks like I got the Google Redirect Virus. I've been running Norton 360, but apparently it's not 100% effective against it. Again, my computer may have been infected earlier.

I did upload a few videos.  By mistake, there is even one that is almost black (hand over the lens, maybe?)

I played one back offf the web right away to make sure it worked, and it was ok.

Edit - I just played them back through the website, and no problems and my antivirus did not complain.

I hope you get your computer straightened out, but I think it is unlikely the vids are hacked.  (Anything is possible, though, I suppose.)

You and anyone else should feel free to grab and use any of the pictures.  That is what they are there for.  (Guess I should have made that explicit though.)

In fact, if anyone feels like doing the editing job to choose / crop / post more pics or vids here, go ahead.

Edit:  The vid of you isn't bad, either.  Just ignore the first few jittery seconds till I get the camera stabilized.  I just realized that propping the camera against my nose makes for a real heavy-breathing sound track.

If you want to upload the full res pics to picasa, I can run them through photoshop. With photobucket, you only get a downsized web-friendly copy of the picture.

The pictures can also be uploaded to your Albums at Epicski, and they will retain full size, but be displayed in threads in a smaller format.  If you haven't seen the upgrades to Albums, (free full resolution storage), go to My Profile/ Upload Photos and create a new album.  You have a choice of creating a personal album or a community album.  In this case you could create a Community Album for the Gathering, and all participants can put their pictures there.  Be sure to check Community, and create a new album.

I get permission denied -- cannot create community album.

So I made a private one.  Maybe someone behind the scenes can change its category.

The album is at http://www.epicski.com/gallery/album/view/id/99342/user_id/12924

I hope everyone can still access the full size photos, even if they can't add more.

Thanks for putting in the album. I couldn't creat a communiity album from it, but will contact Huddler and try to learn these new features better.  The images display well and are available in original size.  Tags are available.

It really looks like you guys had great spring skiing.

We could have some winners here:  http://stowemtresort.blogspot.com/2012/03/bright-spring-colors.html

Paging cometjo (bright yellow pants) and Josh (purple pants).

Oh maybe I should show up!

But which outfit?

\Probably any of them would do, just bring a bunch and mix and match. You'll look like a bad of skittles.

I was actually given the nickname "skittle" by my companions on a whistler trip for this outfit (I'm on the left):

I sent them a couple of pix of me, though I like Josh's all purple outfit best I think.   Was hoping to catch a few turns at the local bump (Camp Fortune) but their website just switched from "closed for repairs" to "closed for the season." But the Stowe weekend makes a pretty fine ending to the season, it was awesome skiing with you all.

You could see MX22 coming from pretty far away. That outfit looked like a winner to me.

This one was taken on the first day at Stowe, March 16th.

Yeah, that's a pretty sweet setup...

mdf, thanks a lot for taking all these great pictures.  I think I may have a found a new facebook profile pic in there somewhere.

To everyone I got to ski with, it was really great meeting you guys and skiing with you.  Mariah and I had a ton of fun.

MDF your pics are amazing.and I like your technical line.

MDF can ski a technical line. I did the Steep and Deep Camp with him at Jackson Hole about a month ago.

Alta Chutes 3/3/12

The only thing that seems to lose his cool in a technical line is a ski chick in stunning blue.

I was just noticing your skiing form.  Yeah, skiing form, that's the ticket!

I found a couple more Stowe photos (turns out my camera starts a new folder on the memory card periodically.  Who knew?)

A silly run through scrawny "trees" on sticky snow.

Another sequence of freeski looking good.
